So many to choose from but we like:Wo Hop (downstairs), not the best food but a classic NYC experienceGreat NY Noodletown, another NYC experience with authentic regional foodShanghai Cafe, simple and great

If you're in the mood, Peking Duck house has, imo, the best Peking Duck around.Order the duck ala carte and fill in with a few other things (I like pickled cabbage) - most of the stir fried stuff is just ok.

Are both Peking Duck House locations equally good? I'm traveling up in a few weeks and looking to round out my experience with some exceptional Peking Duck. So far, before a show on Broadway (my first time doing that) we have reservations at Trattoria Trecolori, and then going to try Daniel the next night. I've just got to try one of these three star Miichilin places and get that chip off my back.

Hopefully we'll get a chance, but it's just two of us, and they're website indicates they require 4 people for the Peking Duck lunch special, perhaps we'll just have to do some roast duck and dumplings somewhere instead...may still go there anyway.

Good recommendations above. Here are some options if you want to expand out of old school Cantonese and soup dumplings:

Xi'an Famous Foods on Bayard for northwestern Chinese food...try the spicy lamb noodles and the lamb burger, though everything there is great.

Hand pulled noodles and dumplings from Lam Zhou on East Broadway or any of the other hand pulled noodle places like Super Taste or Sheng Wang...this is really a northern Chinese specialty but interestingly most if not all of these places are run by Fujianese.
